This picture is of a cadet, after training taking flight, in a photograph that, if taken today, would probably be in color. I think that this photo was taken sometime before color photography was available seeing as the uniforms that the cadets are wearing and the type of plane in which he is flying. It's quite apparent that the photo was taken to commemorate the flight, but not for the pilot as in how his back is to the photo.

In this photo I see an African American woman tilling a field. She is probably poor as she has no shoes on and is wearing very plain clothes, and using an average hoe. She looks to be hired by someone to keep the land because of how the black and white photograph shows that the time period would have been before African Americans gained many rights.

In this photgraph, an African American couple with a wagon on a long road. This photo was probably taken during the 1930's due to the wagon and the dirt road. Also, the woman seems to to be delivering a package and what appears to be milk. This depression era picture shows the plain clothes with smaller amounts of unnecessary cloth, and more wear marks.
Part 2B
A sign at the Greyhound bus station: 'Colored Waiting Room.'
This sign expresses the racism within the farming community. The segregational concept of a separate waiting room for colored people shows the more southern ideas of public racism. The use of the word colored instead of african american seems to be an attempt to make this more sociable. It can't be seen a racism if instead of normal derogatory words they use the term colored. It's obvious that today even this "sociable acceptable" racism wouldnt be accpted outside of examples of racism.
The Rex theater for colored people.
In this photo, there is a movie theatre separate for african americans shown. This theatre obviously isn't getting the correct amount of being taken care of. The farming society allows it be in a poorer condition than other buildings. It has few windows and only one door. They feel that they don't have to care for a minority theatre for the inferior community. They tolerate it, but wont turly allow for it to be there, with the other people.
Signs behind the bar, including one that reads: 'Positively no beer sold toIndians.'
This picture shows the society's rules about how even the places that allow all types of people also have separate regulations for them. This store's policy being that beer isn't sold to indians is most likely not applicable to other people. It's not like other aspects of completely separating the people. They will prevent complete and total equality though within the area by keeping higher standards reserved for some. Indians aren't allowed to buy beer at the establishment, while other's can. It's just another way of being able to keep people at a lower standard than others.
Part 3A:
First of all, the jobs during the Great Depression for industrial workers were poorly treated and the men went farther than women, but they didn't care about working conditions. They just cared about the money so long as they still had a job. Most people only cared that they'd still have a job. The women would put up with sexual harrassment. Blacks were still discriminated against and unions were being put down. It was all only about being able to have a job in okay conditions. The city was a hard place where the poor were badly off and people would learn to make money off of things that before wouldn't have. People weren't expected to do much and when they would people were astonished.

6. Rhussus L. Perry
Jesse Owens was an African American Olympic winner who had started out like most other people. He had started through his school and grew a bond with his coach. He would do more than run, but actually think about what's more important in life. He would win in Germany and become the fourth American to win 3 medals. He would become one of the most successful African Americans of the time period.

Crawford Ellis was a man who rose out of nothing, born in Selma Alabama and would have one of the most successful careers of any African American. When he moved to Nicaragua he would have to make something out of nothing. He'd start as an auditor and move from there. His bright future was made from him alone. Through his own desire for success, and sheer detrmination.
